hey did you find any the nursing courses similar to those of the health science program. I keep hearing and seeing that bsn courses are heavily geared towards leadership, organization, and theory. I don't know about your health science curriculum but mine had a lot of healthcare related courses and sciences such as: medical science 1 and 2, organization and administration of healthcare facilities, health care research and statistics, critical health issues, blah blah etc. I really don't want to take any more of those classes which are the same thing just have NUR in front of the name. I wish I can learn the technical and practical stuff and be done with it, just asking?

I think it will be a field that will utilize my passion to help people. My initial goal was PT hence the b.s. in health science. I then went on to my m.s. in exercise science to expose/prepare me for the rigorous PT programs. I decided i didn't want to pursue PT, and decided to look for ex phys jobs. Many are in cardiac rehab related and many employers are now just training the RN's to do these jobs. So here I am.

Thanks guys for the reply, accelerated BSN it is, plenty of programs here in Florida, hopefully I can find one that starts in Spring 12. Another question would my M.S. in Exercise Science help with landing job after I get my BSN? A lot of the course work focused on cardiac and respiratory rehabilitation and advanced human physiology.

thanks for the reply, i thought i read somewhere that employers would prefer the BSN, the accelerated BSN would take me a 1-1.5 years, ADN would take at most a year. I was thinking that my science and health care courses from my b.s. and m.s. would make up for not having a BSN, if i went the ADN route.

I'm thinking about entering nursing, would it benefit me to get a BSN or ADN to become a RN considering my educational health related background?
